The average size of a horse is about 14.3 to 18 hands high, but it really depends on the breed. Same with a pony, but the largest size of a pony can be 14.2, or else it would be considered a horse.
A regular horse is between 14.2 and 16.2 hands high. A normal riding horse is usually between 14 and 16 hands high. A horse below 14.2hh is technically called a pony, but many people find shorter horses more comfortable to ride and easier to mount. (It is very difficult to climb onto a 16hh horse without a mounting block!) However, a taller horse has a longer stride and can run faster and jump higher than a short one. This is why most sport horse breeds are usually very tall. Riding horses are usually crossbreds and their height will depend on what breeds are in their pedigree.
A Mustang will range in height from 13 to 16 hands with 14.3 hands being the average.
They grow to be about 13.25 to 15 hands at the withers. A hand is about four inches.
14 hands (hand=4 in.)
About 20-25 years normally, but can extend up to 30 years.
Some are into the 15hh, but most are 16hh-18hh
At 14.2 HH a pony becomes a horse. So from 14.2HH up the equine is considered 'horse'. Some of the biggest horses can reach 19 or 20 HH. That's a pretty big horse.
21.2hh
Radar, the world's largest horse,is an impressive height of 19 hands, 3 1/2 inches tall == ==
16.2 hands
How many hands high a horse needs to be depends on how tall the rider is, if the rider is still growing and how wide the horse is. Most people can comfortably ride a horse in the 14.3 to 15.3 hand range no matter how tall they are.
Around 16.2 hands.
15 hands or five feet.
Over seventeen hands tall.
No, a Przewalski horse is only 12 hands tall and a regular horse is 16 hands tall.
because a hand is four inches so they can add how many hands together and see how tall a horse is. - Megan (11)
A horse measuring 15.2 hands is 62" tall at the withers, which is 5', 2" tall. This is a relatively short horse, but the American Paint Horse breed is known for being shorter through the legs and stockier. In contrast, Thoroughbreds can be up to 18 hands (72" or 6' tall) and draft horse breeds can be over 21 hands tall (84" or 7' tall).
16 hands tall

a horse has to be over 14.2 hands tall to be considered a horse, anything under that is a pony.
You could have a pony about 13.0 hands tall but no smaler and a horse at any size but you might want one 15.2 hands tall or shorter.
The Rocky Mountain horse can be 14.3 hands up to over 16 hands.
